Hey guys,

I'm ready to conquer this story, I am armed with my imagination, and my favorite book, AN CHILDREN'S TREASURY OF MYTHOLOGY. Before I forget Effie is pronounced EF-ee. Both Stella and Effie are Greek names. Without further ado....

Athens, Greece didn't have much to offer for Stella Kaligaris. She was te only child of extremely high class parents and was raised to be extremely spoiled. Her life was perfect until the year she turned 15. She truly thought she was in love, deep down inside she did, and she took her relationship a step further, and became pregnant.

"Mommy can we buy a goldfish when we get to America?" six year old Effie asked jolting Stella out of her thoughts. "Sure Eff" Stella reassured the little girl. She looked down at Effie, who was leafing through one of Stella's catalogue's. Effie's long curly black locks cascaded down her back. Her pale skin brought out her extraordinarily beautiful green eyes. Her green eyes were ready for an adventure, for Effie this was an adventure. For Stella it was a change of lifestyles. Stella was trading their comfortable european way of life for the hurried American way of life. She closed her eyes, she was sick of the plain white walls of the Athens airport. In less than a day they'd be in LAX (Los Angeles International Airport), with a whole new lifestyle.

"Final boarding call for Flight 564 to Los Angeles" a voice over the speaker called. Stella looked down at Effie's green eyes. "Let's go, Boo" she said to her little girl using the nickname she had given her from the Disney movie Monsters Incorporated. Hand in hand they walked the security and onto the plane. They sat down in their very comfortable first class seats, Effie retrieved a coloring book from her backpack and began to color furiously.

Stella remembered the manilla folder her father had given her upon sayin their good-bye's. She reached for her Louis Vuitton bucket purse and pulled out the folder. When she opened it her heart skipped a beat. Stella hadn't planned the trip, she had done it on impulse, truth was that Stella had no idea where to go once she got to L.A. The folder was her answer. Inside the folder was a registration to a 2004 LandRover and a picture of a yellow house with a white pickett fence and a garden of daisies. Also inside the folder was a Ziploc baggie with a key to a car and a key to a house. This brought a smile to Stella's face her problems had been resolved for her.

"Mommy, when we get to the U.S.A I want a goldfish, a puppy and a daddy. Ok?" Effie asked not bothering to look up from her coloring book. Stella winced, Effie wanted a daddy. Stella hadn't dated since Effie's daddy, she was afraid of being heartbroken again. Guys had always asked her out, but that was no mystery, Stella was drop dead gorgeous. She had straight light brown hair with natural blonde highlights and chocolate colored eyes. Her skin glowed a bronze color. She was tall 5'8" and thin but curvy. Why hadn't she dated? Because, she was afraid. But now she was going to America, she promised herself she'd put her fears aside. As the airplane took off she leaned into the headrest and drifted off to sleep as Effie's words "a goldfish, a puppy and a daddy" repeated themselves over and over again in her head.
